Here's what DNA analysis of relics purported to be from Jesus or his family can actually tell us.

 

Why dont they just ask the vatican? Or maybe they already did?

They hold the treasures of the crusade.

John's bones apparently.

Screen caps are from pages of the book "The Scrolls of Onteorah"

Upon Herod's birthday, a great celebration took place and his step-daughter, whom tradition names Salome, performed a dance that pleased him greatly. To reward her performance and to display his great wealth and generosity, Herod promised in front of his guests to grant her any favor she requested. Having been coached by her mother Herodias, who "had a grudge against [John the Baptist] and wanted to put him to death," Salome asked for the prophet's head on a platter (Mark 6:19, 25). Thus, John the Baptist was beheaded in his jail cell and his head was then presented to Herodias's daughter in front of all the guests.

 

The fact that John the Baptist was imprisoned for teaching the truth of God's Word and that his execution could be carried out on the whim of a princess for the entertainment of Roman guests shows the extent of the oppression the Jews of Jesus' day suffered under the tyranny of Roman rule. It also foreshadows the death Jesus Himself would face for teaching the truth. He, too, would be executed by Roman authorities on the whim of an angry crowd who rejected His preaching.

 

Jesus had said of John "Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist" (Matthew 11:11). John the Baptist knew Jesus was "the Son of God" (John 1:34) and "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). He had announced this to the people while preaching about repentance. So although John the Baptist's death was a great injustice, he had fulfilled the purpose to which God called him: to be "the voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight'" (Matthew 3:3).

An article on Catholic Answers similarly concludes that โ€œAll we can tell from the word suggenes is that Elizabeth was some kind of female relative of Maryโ€™s. But whether she was an aunt, a cousin, or a more distant relation cannot be determined from the word.โ€

 

This is why many Bible translations refrain from using the word โ€œcousin,โ€ and use a more vague term.

 

[B]ehold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age. (Luke 1:36) โ€“ NABRE[B]ehold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son. (Luke 1:36) โ€“ RSVCE[B]ehold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son.(Luke 1:36) โ€“ ESV

Jesus and John the Baptist were certainly related, possibly even cousins, but the Bible does not give us enough evidence to determine how closely they were related.
